Question
Can you tell me if there is a way to batch edit photos in Photoshop?  I have 200 photos in jpeg format from a wedding that I need to resize. (These are from a digital camera that I now have on my hard drive.)
Is there some kind of repeat formatting key?

I have Photoshop 6.0

Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Answer
Dear Jaquie,

Yes there is.

Make sure you have the "Actions" palette open.

Open one image, the click the "Record" button in the Actions palette.

Now resize the image.

Click "Stop" in the Actions palette.

Now you can close the image you resized without saving.

Now open "Automate" from onder the "File" menu.

Choose the Action you created and the folder yoiu want to run the action on and the folder you want to save to.

This will do it.
